Helen Featherstone Page 2 PINTS WEST Meet the New Bristol Brewers “We luvs what we does!” here is a new brewery in town – and it’s called the New Bristol Brewery! Brothers TNoel and Tom James (and the brewery dog Joss) set up their modest five-barrel brewery – crammed into a tiny industrial unit in St Pauls, near Portland Square – just a few months ago. Noel’s background in brewing started in Cornwall, where he enjoyed designing his beers on a 100-litre set-up. But being from Bristol, he was thrilled when he was offered the position of assistant brewer with the Great Western Brewing Company in Hambrook. Having honed his skills there, he decided it was time, with brother Tom, to start a brewery of their own. Their New Bristol Brewery has allowed the brothers to work together producing a product they love. Tom’s background in cabinet making has absolutely nothing to do with brewing, but Noel says he has learnt fast and was responsible for producing their recent beer Angry Tom, a dry-hopped IPA at 5.9%. l 365 – an everyday standing-up bitter brewed to a strength of 4.0%.

Noel says they are very excited about, “not least because it means we “In the same breath we also understand that sometimes you may just can finally start bottling.” want a tasty traditional beer like our 365, an everyday standing-up beer.” Noel finished by saying: “We’ve been welcome with open arms New Bristol Brewery beers have made appearances, and are likely by customers and brewers alike and that’s a great feeling.

Equally, ‘The Crimp’, in which the recruiting sergeant lays his hand on the unwilling man in the street while a mass of volunteers march by, re-enforces the message that it was down to individuals to help. While ‘The Call to Arms’ was criticised for being bloodthirsty, it achieved its objective. Probably the best known of Brangwyn’s posters was ‘The Vow of Vengeance’. Issued by the Daily Chronicle, it depicts a puzzled soldier shaking his fist at a departing and seemingly immune Zeppelin after a bombing raid.

    QUEEN VICTORIA George III 1760 1820 The Prince 1811 1820 Regency George IV 1820 1830 William IV 1830 1837 Victoria 1837 1901 1819 May 24, Monday: At a performance of La Gazza ladra in Gioachino Rossini’s home town of Pesaro, followers of Caroline of Brunswick, Duchess of Wales did everything they could to disrupt the proceedings. She and her lover were hoping to repay a perceived snub he had given them during the previous year’s performance. Most citizens hoped to make his return a gala occasion but the toughs forced the town fathers to smuggle him in the stage door. They carried out whistling and disruptions from all sides of the theater. Rossini would never set foot in Pesaro again. Alexandrina Victoria, who would in 1837 become Queen Victoria, was born in Kensington Palace in London, the 1st and only child of Edward, Duke of Kent (allegedly) and Princess Victoria Maria Louisa of Saxe- Coburg-Saalfeld — and hemophilia became a fact of life in the English and eventually the Russian royal families. As there is only one chance in 50,000, genetically, that Indolent Edward had been biologically her father and that that gene for hemophilia had been introduced into the royal family at this point by a chance mutation, it seems likely that from this point forward all the Brit troubles with their royals have been utterly unnecessary. If Victoria was a bastard, then it should be the socialite Ernst, Prince of Hanover on the throne right now, not Elizabeth II — and Chuckie “I want to be your tampon” Stuart would have been being the mere socialite.1 Two women reigned during Thoreau’s florut.

  • London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
    LONDON BOROUGH OF HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM STREET INDEX OF STATUTORY LISTED BUILDINGS Last updated: 11/05/2012 The List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest is compiled by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) with the advice of English Heritage. It comprises a wide variety of buildings and structures including street furniture and tombs which are considered to be of national importance. Under Section 1 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Secretary of State at the DCMS is required to compile and amend lists of such buildings. The most recent comprehensive survey of buildings within the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) resulted in the 25th List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, which came into effect on 14 February 1985. Since then 65 Amendments have been issued, the most recent on 11th May 2012 (Amendment Nos. 27 & 35 have never been issued). The buildings are classified in grades to show their relative national importance as follows:- Grade I These are buildings of exceptional interest (only about 2% of listed buildings). Grade II* These are particularly important buildings of more than special interest (some 4%). Grade II These are buildings of special interest, which warrant every effort being made to preserve them (94% of all listed buildings). Buildings are listed in their entirety including the exterior and interior: there is no such thing as just a listed façade. It is important to note that a listed building includes 'any object or structure fixed to the building' and 'any object or structure within the curtilage of the building which, although not fixed to the building, forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948'.
